I will always cherish my days spending time at Grandpa and Uncle Jerry's. Those family gatherings will forever be some of my favorite memories. He was the fun Uncle and was so good to us. I have so many memories of the farm and my forever goal to find the kittens. One of the funniest memories is when I was in college. I wrote a letter to Grandpa and Uncle Jerry, and that is how I addressed it, "Grandpa and Uncle Jerry"...no last name, just that and their address! It made it to them! I will never live that down! Rest in peace Uncle Jerry - you know we love you and always will.
